Nick Saban retires

Yeah fuck the running thread.



It sucks, but how am I going to be mad I got to watch the greatest to ever do it?

 

I thought he'd wait till after the West Virginia game in a year or two. Isn't that one at Morgantown?

Either way, Alabama football under Saban is comparable to UCLA hoops under Wooden.

 

Jim Harbaugh doing the work that others would not.

 

This year already felt like a natural inflection point, with playoff expansion and the rise of super conferences, NIL continuing to blow up and now the advent of unlimited free transfers. Now it is a Grand Canyon-sized Before and After.

 

Greatest coach in college football history, if not all football history. Good riddance.

 

Still nothing on AL.com or Tuscaloosa News. People’s careers are being threatened as we speak.

 

I would not, not, not want to be the man who succeeds "THE MAN."

 

I think that's exactly right.

 

As @Della9250 noted in the running thread, he's close to several records. The changing times in CFB? Undisclosed illness? Or someone in Tuscaloosa couldn't handle a CFP finale without the Tide?

Finebaum's phone lines may melt down.

 

Rest assured Greg Byrne will handle it in the slimiest way possible.

 

Not a fan of Alabama. But he was a helluva coach. I loved those segments where he explained what happened on a key play, and why.
